An Election Run

It’s been a pretty convincing result! After months and months of campaigning and news, Trump and the Republicans have won the US election by an absolute mile.

It it a shock? Yes and no. Whilst polling throughout had shown an even race, it’s also historically true that Trump always polls low and turns up in election day. Whether it is Trump supporters being embarrassed to admit they are voting for him or something else, it’s a consistent trend.

My learnings from this election are:

  • Making noise is key, even if it isn’t true
  • Marketing above all
  • Us against the world is a strong motivator
  • Powerful influencers bring powerful backing but likely powerful needs too
  • Overnight everything can change, the future looks very different today compared to what it could have been
  • People believe in whatever it is Trump is selling, that is something you can’t deny

Regardless of what happens, a four year term goes fast and it’s likely that Trump won’t get it all his own way. I don’t think you can change your planning based off of this situation, stay the course and follow your long term plans.
